Morales wants a rubbermatch: Pacquiao is ready to beat him again

[Manny_P]

Pac has improved his right hand. But his defense and balance is still horrible. Morales had eeasily won the 4 rounds out of 5 whne it got to the 6th round. The fight was very close and even when his legs were gone he was still fighitng ina competive fight. Its very possible that morales could still win a 3rd one

no he didn't. he won those rounds, but not easily. Round 1 shoulda been fo Pac anyways. Pac outboxed him in that round. Morales won 3,4,5 BUT NO WAy easily.

Morales' punches on the 6th so on had no effect to Manny. Manny even taunted him in the 8th I think. Clearly, Manny wasn't gettin bothered wit anything Morales was throwing.

i agree with you. pac defense is his achilles' heel and even roach noted that in an interview days after the fight. i'm not counting erik just yet. he is still very much capable of turning the tide on pacman. however, if the same pacman shows in the rubber match i don't think the outcome will ever be different. one reason why erik lost his legs and gasse out of the game was the pace manny was coming at him. manny was always on his face with those punches coming from awkward angles. his much improved right too was able to open up erik's defense for the left straights to do their damage.

Manny has improved with his right hand, now Roach must teach Pacman defense, espcially against the style of Erik Morales. On the tune up fight, u will see Pacman, instead of KO'ing his opponent in the 1st 3 rounds, he will box and work on his defense, then going for the KO by the 6th round. When the trilogy happens, u will see Pacman with a descent defense against Morales.

ok here it is... watch the 1:50 to 1:40 part of the sixth round and erik landed that powerful jab on pac... manny backed off... that was the only time i saw back off from a punch...

sorry to keep you waiting bro...yes i saw that left jab but i don't think manny was hurt by that. he just back off to regain his balance. manny clearly dominated that round. morales at the end of the round wobbled to his corner. you could hear the voice of his cornermen in panic after that round.
